Don't disturb the sleeping dragon.

This is the ancient motto of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry that has been passed down for thousands of years.

At the end of class on Friday afternoon, Hermione, Elena, Luna, and Hannah met in the library as scheduled.

As the eldest sisters of Hogwarts' second-year classes A and B, they will spend half a day every Friday afternoon to help their classmates solve some difficult problems in this week's homework. In exchange, when the weekend begins, everyone

It's best not to disturb their relaxation time.

A few hours later, the petite and cute "evil dragon" finished its routine inspection and returned to its lair under the leadership of the princesses.

The Hyperion's bridge landing site is set up in Elena's fireplace.

However, they cannot board the ship immediately.

"Pack a little bit of luggage and change clothes——"

Elena's wand directed the clothes to be folded one after another and dropped into the suitcase spread out on the floor.

"You can't see any nice sunrises at Hogwarts, so we're going on a boat vacation this weekend. Anyway, this week's Quidditch match is only between the Slytherin team and the 'All-Stars' team, so we can have a complete

I’m going to play for two days, so I still need to prepare basic underwear, shoes and socks...”

"Eh? Isn't the ship you mentioned... the Hyperion anchored near Hogwarts Castle?"

While Hermione was packing her luggage and carefully deciding which books to take with her, she asked Elena curiously.

Since spending time with Elena, Hermione has become more casual about breaking school rules.

Anyway, Hogwarts does not inspect the dormitories on weekends. As the Hogwarts Disciplinary Committee, it is part of her job to personally supervise a certain demon king. Even Professor Dumbledore will not say anything - this

But the exact words of Professor Apokalis.

And on the other hand, even if they occasionally travel with their parents, the Granger family mostly takes planes or trains.

Strictly speaking, apart from the small wooden boat used when crossing the lake at the beginning of school, Hermione had never been on any other boat.

Along with Elena's previous description, she had already sketched out the general outline of the "Huberlian" in her mind - just like the one in the picture album and on TV, it had several large chimneys and might be nearly a hundred meters long.

beautiful big ship.

"Occasionally, but most of the time I cruise around... After all, Hogwarts is a bit small..."

"Hogwarts is pretty small here? That ship won't be that big three-masted ship, right?!"

Hannah carefully folded her shoes, socks, and underwear, and quietly placed the textbook under the desk, looking at Elena with some excitement.

"I heard adults say in the tavern before that Durmstrang has a giant magic three-masted ship..."

"Durmstrang?" Hermione interrupted curiously.

"Well, that's another magic school abroad. It is said that there are many dark wizards in it-"

Luna put down "The Quibbler" in her hand, glanced at Elena, and said softly, "The most famous among them is Gellert Grindelwald."

"This is actually a prejudice. Black wizards and white wizards are just ideologically forced divisions, which are not accurate."

Elena shrugged and didn't explain much in this regard.

Anyway, the future history will most likely be written by them, so there is no rush now.

"Well, but..."

She thought for a few seconds, raised the corners of her mouth, opened her thumb and index finger and gestured towards Tiehanhan.

"Compared to Durmstrang's magic ship, the Hyperion, well, may be a little bigger..."

Before she saw with her own eyes the city in the sky, which embodies the brilliance of the pinnacle of human civilization, it was difficult for her to use words to let these three little wings understand what kind of big ship it was, even for a top wizard like Dumbledore.

, will still be limited by imagination.

What's more, keeping surprises until the last minute is the most basic pleasure in life.

"It's mysterious, huh. Anyway, we'll see it later."

Hermione rolled her eyes at Elena angrily. This white-haired dumpling had always been very good at making mysteries and pretending to be mysterious.

She closed the box, looked at the owl alarm clock next to her desk, and moved her shoulders.

"So, when are we going to the lake? At least until everyone is asleep, right?"

"By the lake? The Hyperion is a magic ship!"

Elena shook her head, and the hair on her head swayed from side to side.

"We will set off directly from the bedroom later and board the ship directly using the dedicated Floo network connected to the fireplace."

"Hey, will there be a fireplace on the boat?"

Hannah asked curiously, her suitcase packed.

"Wouldn't there be a chimney? If you light a fire on the ship, wouldn't you be afraid of setting the ship on fire?"

She was very familiar with the Floo Network, which was almost the most common medium-distance travel method in the European wizarding world.

However, in Hannah's impression, fireplaces were mostly set up in fixed houses.

After all, apart from occasionally using the Floo network for transmission, most of the time the fireplace is still necessary for normal heating, lighting, and chimneys. But it would be really weird to set up a fireplace chimney or something on a ship.

?

"Silly Hannah, of course the Hyperion is not a wooden ship—"

Hermione raised her eyebrows, sighed helplessly, and sat on the edge of the table with her arms crossed.

"If my guess is correct, the big ship Elena mentioned is a ship. Wooden ships are not common in modern society. If it is a newly renovated magic ship, it is normal to have a chimney and a fireplace - Huber

Isn't the Leon at least more advanced than the Hogwarts Express?"

"A little... more advanced."

Elena's expression remained unchanged and her gestures remained unchanged as she answered repeatedly.

At this moment, Luna, who was still packing her luggage not far away, finally stopped.

Miss Lovegood closed her suitcase, stood up, walked to the glove cabinet on the wall, and took out a... broom?

"Eh? Luna, are you planning to practice Quidditch on the weekend?"

Hermione glanced at Luna, who was carefully inspecting the broomstick, and said with a strange expression.

"This weekend's competition is over. The next round of competition will not be until after Christmas. You have a good rest this week and there is no need for additional training."

"No, Granger. I just think..."

Luna Lovegood shook her head and clenched the broomstick in her hand with some uncertainty.

She didn't know why, but a little voice in her heart said that it would be best to take her own broom along the way.

"What do you think-"

Before Hermione could finish her words, the fireplace in front of everyone suddenly rang.

Ka, Ka Qian——

Accompanied by a low, rumbling sound of friction against the stone wall.

The decorative wall around the luxurious classical fireplace moved, and four stone strips engraved with mysterious runes were revealed. The firelight in the fireplace changed and jumped in an instant. The original orange-red fire suddenly and silently

Transformed into blue-white cold flames.

"The Hyperion has arrived at the transmission range of Hogwarts, and the signal connection was successful——"

Elena clapped her hands happily, stood up and said to the girls behind her.

"Is everyone ready? We are about to start boarding the ship. Remember to bring your belongings."

As she spoke, she took out her wand and started moving the magic runes on the edge of the fireplace in a strange order.

As Elena moved, each rune flickered on and off.

"Encrypted channel, C-A-K—α-666-777—"

Elena whispered softly, staring at the blue-white flames that kept dancing with great concentration.

The next moment, a metal nameplate gradually solidified and appeared in the center of the flame, with a line of code written in gilt text on it.

"The temporary connection is established successfully, we can set off——"

Elena turned her head, took out an inflatable money bag from her chest, and quickly packed away the luggage that Hermione and others had packed.

"The temporary connection to the Hyperion is very short, we have to hurry up - don't worry, you don't have to do anything, and you don't have to read the place name. In one minute, this flame will only connect to the Hyperion... As for Luna, take the broomstick

Just take it and remember not to hold the broom handle forward."

After saying that, she smiled at the little witches behind her and walked into the fire first.

A few seconds later, Elena's head popped out from the other end of the flame.

"Don't wait, come over quickly, don't you want to go outside the school to watch the sunrise and spend the weekend?"

Hermione, Hannah, and Luna exchanged looks and shrugged.

Immediately afterwards, they walked into the fire one by one.
